Paragliding

A paraglider is the latest evolution of recreational flying. Made of engineered fabric and lines, a paraglider fits in a backpack and is ready to launch in minutes. Harnessing the energy of the sun and the wind, the paraglider becomes a wing with which we can safely soar the sky for hours.

If you've ever had the dream of flight, up with the birds, and free from all your earthly worries, we can make that dream come true quickly and safely with one of our entry level first flight paragliding courses.

An optimized teaching method on the perfect slope to get you paragliding solo immediately on the fastest and safest progression. You will paraglide at low altitude just above the ground, leaving you feeling secure and empowered.

We do a session of comprehensive classroom theory to make sure you understand paragliding aerodynamics, basic airspace, regulatory bodies, weather, and how to launch, fly and land your paraglider. A written exam confirms your comprehension of the topics.
